Question

20 what was the consequence of the georgia general assemblys expulsion of its african american members during reconstruction?
a) georgias legislature restricted the rights of african americans.
b) the federal government put the state under martial law.
c) the ku klux klan disbanded after achieving its goal.
d) georgias economy entered a severe depression.

Explanation:

During Reconstruction, when Georgia's General Assembly expelled its African American members, the federal government intervened to enforce Reconstruction-era protections for Black citizens. This intervention included placing Georgia under martial law to reinstate the expelled legislators and uphold civil rights. Option A is incorrect because the expulsion was an act of restricting rights, not a consequence. Option C is wrong as the KKK did not disband at this time. Option D is unrelated, as the expulsion did not cause an economic depression.

Answer:

B. The federal government put the state under martial law.
